Yes, there should definitely be an "Other". I am an "other".

If anyone is interested, the selector list below has 20 of the most fundamental questions that all world religions take a stance on. It is fun to play around with, and is one of the more sophisticated selector lists that has been composed.

you cant write god if you mean god for christanity because his name is Jehova or Jahve and I believe in him that is the christian/jude God.

buddism is not really a Religion its more a way of life.

I was raised as a Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist. Buddhism is a religion. There are more than 100 different sects of buddhism throughout the world.  We have temples/churchs, prayers, rituals, priests, monks, organized meetings etc.You are thinking of Taoism that is not a religion but more a way of life.

Well thanks for the correction, I said God because if there is any other god that people believe in, I wouldn't offend them..

Christianity worships Jesus Christ, who is a savior, not neccessarily a god, IMO...

Yes, Sidhartha Guatama was born into a royal family, he was a prince. But he gave up that life for his religious studies. He achieved enlightment as a man and became buddha. The Mahayana sect of buddhism believes that anyone can achieve enlightment, and thus become buddha. There is no ONE GOD in buddhism, but some sects only worship the teachings of Guatama Buddha, and some sects believe in many buddhas and dieties. The overriding factor of buddhism is karma=cause and effect. Just like the idea of sin, but more of an immediate relation. Many Christian sects worship Mary and other Saints, but they are not God either.

Null vote. I'm agnostic.

For the most part I'm atheist, but there are sometimes where I believe there is some sort of other-worldly force out there. I certainly don't believe in creationism or anything unrelated to science, but there are some things in my life that have been entirely too coincidental, so I think it's possible another force that no one can recognize might have done something.

And then there's the Big Bang. I fully believe in it, but I think that it's also possible that another force could have put those events into motion, and put evolution and the natural creation of life into motion.


Plus I also like to take different facets of every religion and kind of mash it into one. I don't take any of it as canon, but much of it is quite interesting (especially Buddhism and other Eastern religions) and I like their view on things.



But does me not believing in and practicing a specific religion and devoting all my time to that, make me an immoral person without regard for humanity and I'm going to an imaginary place a bunch of hypocrites made up called Hell? Absolutely not.

(Personally, I think hardcore, closed-minded religious people are the biggest sinners of all.)

Because most religious threads end in flaming and arguing instead of debate.  And because the poster from two years ago put it in the wrong section.
